Current Community Operations:

Positive policing results:-

Operation Hartland ran for approx. 6 weeks from the middle of November until the end of December and was a great success with 6 incidents reported and thefts in the town centre down on previous years and of those that were reported all 6 were detected. Incidents of anti social behaviour and licensing issues were also low during the operation.

Snow Angels assisted vulnerable residents in the town centre and several other areas by clearing paths and access roads of large accumulations of snow, this was greatly received by residents and the media alike. Neighbourhood Police worked along with local volunteers, the Council, Derwentside CVS and some volunteers from Hassockfield Detention Centre.

Incident at Belle Vue Leisure Centre – Incident occurred in the changing rooms, the victim is recovering in hospital and the suspect who was arrested at the scene has been charged and remanded in custody. This was an isolated incident and the swift intervention of staff at the leisure centre saved the victim from further harm and assisted police in arresting the male responsible for the attack.

As part of a new initiative/project Taxis in the town centre have been using the apex radio system via Genesis Control, effectively becoming extra “eyes and ears” on the street and this has proved successful in reporting incidents as they are happening, particularly during the busy “night time economy” times.

PACT – issues are still on going at Stanley Street though instances are reduced, the bad weather has seen an increase in parents trying to get as close as possible to the school gates.

ASB – ring leaders/regular offenders have been targeted over the last few months. Several youths have attended the Police Station with their parents for discussions and 3 have been interviewed with regards trespass of the bus station.
